ROPPONGI: Mezzo Bar for their 500 yen 7-10pm Happy Hour! Friendly staff and DJ booth. (SONY RX100)

I often fear entering bars in Roppongi but chatted up the employees out front about the payment system.  Only 500 yen for a Happy Hour drink!  It was dead empty on this Thursday night at 10pm but wanted to check out the place for future reference.  

Went with a Whisky Hi-ball. 

DJ Booth in the back of the bar. 

Drink Menu

Only E-Cigarettes allowed!

Overall a very cozy spot... seems there is a VIP section on 2F. AND its just a few steps from The Hub

And of course when in expensive residential Roppongi you will spot exotic cars.

Ferrari 458 or 488?

May 20th Mezzo Bar on the news!  Due to coronavirus bars in Tokyo have been closed and restaurants are only allowed to offer take-out but many are located in very hidden spots... thus Mezzo has offered them to sell take-out bento's at their bar.  Just about a block from Roppongi crossing on a huge main road.

Employee from a nearby Yakitori restaurant that is located in the basement of a building... she is selling the yakitori bento's. 

Roppongi teamwork in times of corona virus.

NAKANO: Kaisen Misaki-ko conveyor belt sushi for their limited 3 piece deal! 190 yen! (Sony RX100)

I always pass by this sushi shop on my way to my favorite spot in Nakano mall. 

This night this caught my eye!  3 pieces of sushi for only 190 yen!  I had to try.

Asked the chef if there were any other additional charges and he said no.  Often if you order alcohol they will automatically serve a small 400-500 yen appetizer thats added to your bill... unfortunately its unavoidable if you order alchohol. 

This is it! Boiled shrimp, salmon and tuna combo 190 yen.  Not a fan of salmon but the pieces were  very chunky.  

Hon-Maguro Fair.

Gotta love it when everything is pictured.

The most basic tuna is always the standard to judge a sushi spot.  

2 pieces for 190 yen! ENGLISH Text on the menu!

But often what arrives is never as pictured.  It was more of a light pink rather than the standard red color. Was a bit too mushy for me and I guess the lowly foodie score says it all.

If you really want to enjoy a great sushi experiece then just walk about 50 years up the mall to my favorite spot Tachi Sushi Yokocho.  https://tokyobelly.blogspot.com/search?q=nakano+sushi
